+Device controller
+-----------------
+
+Device controller manages access to device files. It includes both
+creation of new device files (using mknod), and access to the
+existing device files.
+
+Cgroup v2 device controller has no interface files and is implemented
+on top of cgroup BPF. To control access to device files, a user may
+create bpf programs of the BPF_CGROUP_DEVICE type and attach them
+to cgroups. On an attempt to access a device file, corresponding
+BPF programs will be executed, and depending on the return value
+the attempt will succeed or fail with -EPERM.
+
+A BPF_CGROUP_DEVICE program takes a pointer to the bpf_cgroup_dev_ctx
+structure, which describes the device access attempt: access type
+(mknod/read/write) and device (type, major and minor numbers).
+If the program returns 0, the attempt fails with -EPERM, otherwise
+it succeeds.
+
+An example of BPF_CGROUP_DEVICE program may be found in the kernel
+source tree in the tools/testing/selftests/bpf/dev_cgroup.c file.

+CPU controller root cgroup process behaviour
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+When distributing CPU cycles in the root cgroup each thread in this
+cgroup is treated as if it was hosted in a separate child cgroup of the
+root cgroup. This child cgroup weight is dependent on its thread nice
+level.
+
+For details of this mapping see sched_prio_to_weight array in
+kernel/sched/core.c file (values from this array should be scaled
+appropriately so the neutral - nice 0 - value is 100 instead of 1024).
+
+
+IO controller root cgroup process behaviour
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Root cgroup processes are hosted in an implicit leaf child node.
+When distributing IO resources this implicit child node is taken into
+account as if it was a normal child cgroup of the root cgroup with a
+weight value of 200.
